General

With the slogan #moreismore, Blackstar launches the brand new and incredibly adaptable HT Stage 60 112 MKII tube guitar amplifier combo from their HT Venue Series. Let's begin with the sonic foundation of this amp: a 12" Celestion speaker powered by two ECC83s in the preamp and two EL34s in the power amp for a total combined output of a solid 60 Watts that can be toggled down to 6 Watts via the handy power attenuator. If you're looking to tone it down a little more you can use the two emulated outputs and the USB port on the back of the Stage 60. The first two let you route your sound directly to a mixer or pair of headphones while the latter offers a direct connection to your DAW.

Tone, Tone And More Tone

Do not let the many controls on the HT Stage 60 MKII scare you away, they're a lot less frightening than you might think. There are three switchable channels to which you can assign either a British or an American voice. This means that the clean channels offers up the choice between beautiful cleans with high headroom or the desired amount of chime with a little edge. The same goes for the two overdrive channels, whereby the American setting gets you a smooth and loud overdrive while the British voice retains that classic sound. Using the Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), you can adjust the frequency response with ease and the conveniently included footswitch allows for uncomplicated switching between the channels. To finish, this combo amp has been loaded with a reverb effect that can be set to dark (room) or light (plate). Need we say more?

Wrote the following about Blackstar HT Stage 60 112 MKII Tube Guitar Amplifier Combo

Fijne versterker met een ruim aanbod aan goede sounds. Ik heb de Celestion Seventy/80 vervangen door een Creamback, klinkt in mijn oren net wat fijner hoewel de originele speaker het in deze combo niet slecht doet. Bijgeleverd netsnoer heeft een engelse stekker, dus even een ander snoertje scoren maar met een IEC C13/C14 connector is dat niet echt een probleem, alleen sta je wel even te kijken als je'm direct uit de doos wilt inpluggen.

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.
